What I will here prescribe to your troubles, as I've read in your must recent 'diary' entry (as of Aug. 4th 2025), will not be a task of ease. To word it simply, I recommend that you shift your perspective -- from that of a burning desire to fit in, to that of a selective apathy. One should not concern themselves about their belonging, but simply be without longing. I am not aloof to the tremendous task of such a mental recalibration, nor can I provide any help beyond the seed of the thought; words possess a power of trivialization never to be underestimated. Yet, difficulty alone is no reason to impede oneself. Godspeed, and good luck.

I've been thinking about this message a lot and I still don't entirely know how to reply to it. Like, yeah, I know that's what I should be doing, but I can't. Everything makes me want to be something people want. I don't feel like a full person but rather an absence of something else. I'm like a shadow that currently isn't attached to anyone. It's all wrong.
